Mark Cuban says it's 'possible' he'll run for US president: 'When I have something to offer, I will'

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban is leading President Donald Trump in a prospective 2020 presidential poll released Wednesday by the left-leaning polling firm Public Policy Polling.

Cuban, presumed in the poll to be the Democratic candidate facing Trump, received the backing of 42% of respondents. Thirty-eight per cent of those surveyed picked Trump, while 20% said they were unsure.

Cuban, the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and star of ABC’s “Shark Tank,” received the support of 8% of respondents who said they voted for Trump last fall, while Trump received the backing of 4% of respondents who said they voted for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, whom Cuban supported.

“These are always entertaining,” Cuban told Business Insider in an email. “As I have said before, I would only run if I can come up with solutions for healthcare, the plight of working families, and reducing the stress levels of our country. It’s possible. When I have something to offer, I will.”
